Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims mainly at introducing applied statisticians and econometricians to the current research methodology with non-Euclidean data sets. Specifically, it provides the basis and rationale for statistics in Wasserstein space, where the metric on probability measures is taken as a Wasserstein metric arising from optimal transport theory.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors spell out the basis and rationale for using Wasserstein metrics on the data space of (random) probability measures.

Findings

In elaborating the new statistical analysis of non-Euclidean data sets, the paper illustrates the generalization of traditional aspects of statistical inference following Frechet's program.

Originality/value

Besides the elaboration of research methodology for a new data analysis, the paper discusses the applications of Wasserstein metrics to the robustness of financial risk measures.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to develop a geometry of moral systems. Existing social choice mechanisms predominantly employ simple structures, such as rankings. A mathematical metric among moral systems allows us to represent complex sets of views in a multidimensional geometry. Such a metric can serve to diagnose structural issues, test existing mechanisms of social choice or engender new mechanisms. It also may be used to replace active social choice mechanisms with information-based passive ones, shifting the operational burden.

Design/methodology/approach

Under reasonable assumptions, moral systems correspond to computational black boxes, which can be represented by conditional probability distributions of responses to situations. In the presence of a probability distribution over situations and a metric among responses, codifying our intuition, we can derive a sensible metric among moral systems.

Findings

Within the developed framework, the author offers a set of well-behaved candidate metrics that may be employed in real applications. The author also proposes a variety of practical applications to social choice, both diagnostic and generative.

Originality/value

The proffered framework, derived metrics and proposed applications to social choice represent a new paradigm and offer potential improvements and alternatives to existing social choice mechanisms. They also can serve as the staging point for research in a number of directions.

Abstract

Purpose

In this paper, we use the notion of cyclic representation of a nonempty set with respect to a pair of mappings to obtain coincidence points and common fixed points for a pair of self-mappings satisfying some generalized contraction- type conditions involving a control function in partial metric spaces. Moreover, we provide some examples to analyze and illustrate our main results.

Design/methodology/approach

Theoretical method.

Findings

We establish some coincidence points and common fixed point results in partial metric spaces.

Originality/value

Results of this study are new and interesting.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the implicit midpoint rule (IMR) of nonexpansive mappings in 2- uniformly convex hyperbolic spaces and study its convergence. Strong and â–³-convergence theorems based on this algorithm are proved in this new setting. The results obtained hold concurrently in uniformly convex Banach spaces, CAT(0) spaces and Hilbert spaces as special cases.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to study the Hölder calmness of solutions to equilibrium problems and apply it to economics.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors obtain the Hölder calmness by using an effective approach. More precisely, under the key assumption of strong convexity, sufficient conditions for the Hölder continuity of solution maps to equilibrium problems are established.

Findings

A new result in stability analysis for equilibrium problems and applications in economics is archived.

Originality/value

The authors confirm that the paper has not been published previously, is not under consideration for publication elsewhere and is not being simultaneously submitted elsewhere.

Abstract

Purpose

In this paper, the authors prove that the Douglas space of second kind with a generalised form of special (α, β)-metric F, is conformally invariant.

Design/methodology/approach

For, the authors have used the notion of conformal transformation and Douglas space.

Findings

The authors found some results to show that the Douglas space of second kind with certain (α, β)-metrics such as Randers metric, first approximate Matsumoto metric along with some special (α, β)-metrics, is invariant under a conformal change.

Originality/value

The authors introduced Douglas space of second kind and established conditions under which it can be transformed to a Douglas space of second kind.

In this paper, we consider the Heisenberg groups which play a crucial role in both geometry and theoretical physics.

Abstract

Purpose

In this paper, we consider the Heisenberg groups which play a crucial role in both geometry and theoretical physics.

Design/methodology/approach

In the first part, we retrieve the geometry of left-invariant Randers metrics on the Heisenberg group H2n+1, of dimension 2n + 1. Considering a left-invariant Randers metric, we give the Levi-Civita connection, curvature tensor, Ricci tensor and scalar curvature and show the Heisenberg groups H2n+1 have constant negative scalar curvature.

Findings

In the second part, we present our main results. We show that the Heisenberg group H2n+1 cannot admit Randers metric of Berwald and Ricci-quadratic Douglas types. Finally, the flag curvature of Z-Randers metrics in some special directions is obtained which shows that there exist flags of strictly negative and strictly positive curvatures.

Originality/value

In this work, we present complete Reimannian geometry of left invarint-metrics on Heisenberg groups. Also, some geometric properties of left-invarainat Randers metrics will be studied.

The purpose of this paper is to study the Bertotti–Kasner space-time and its geometric properties.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to study the Bertotti–Kasner space-time and its geometric properties.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper is based on the features of λ-tensor and the technique of six-dimensional formalism introduced by Pirani and followed by W. Borgiel, Z. Ahsan et al. and H.M. Manjunatha et al. This technique helps to describe both the geometric properties and the nature of the gravitational field of the space-times in the Segre characteristic.

Findings

The Gaussian curvature quantities specify the curvature of Bertotti–Kasner space-time. They are expressed in terms of invariants of the curvature tensor. The Petrov canonical form and the Weyl invariants have also been obtained.

Originality/value

The findings are revealed to be both physically and geometrically interesting for the description of the gravitational field of the cylindrical universe of Bertotti–Kasner type as far as the literature is concerned. Given the technique of six-dimensional formalism, the authors have defined the Weyl conformal λW-tensor and discussed the canonical form of the Weyl tensor and the Petrov scalars. To the best of the literature survey, this idea is found to be modern. The results deliver new insight into the geometry of the nonstatic cylindrical vacuum solution of Einstein's field equations.
